Now, in the efiE SeVsiq wroviditlogai two sureties must come forward; but, for an- snout the affidavit claimed, they could MU .fitiMtiktplptwns who would undertake the office. They could procure fou and he wished to know if his client could be allowed to name that number under the meaning of the Act? Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE, in looking at the Act, found the words were " two sufficient suretie3 ' " and he had no dis cretion given hi m t o or d er otherwise. If the clause had been more perfect it might have been of some use to the public ; but his opinion was, that there were as many defects in it as there were words. The applicant thanked the Learned Commis sioner, and then retired. WITH WHICH-1 THE " TRUE SUN" IS NOW IN By Order of the Committee, J. BISHOP, Secretary. Cle veland -street, Mile-end, Oct. 13, 1838.

On the Ist November will be published, to be continued Monthly, in super royal Bvo., Part 1., price 2s. 6d., o f T HE PICTORIAL EDITION OF SHAKSPERE. Dr. Drake, in the Prefatory Essay to his " Memorials of Shakspere," points attention to a want whi c h every general reader has long felt :—" It is devoutly to be wished that an edition of Shakspere were undertaken, which, whilst in the notes it expunged all that was trifling, idly controversial, indecorous, and abusive, should, at the same time, retain every interesting disquisition, though, in many instances re-modelled, re-written, and condensed ; nor fearing to add what farther research, under the guidance of good taste, might suggest." Such an edition of Shakspere, as Dr. Drake has here so judici ously described it, will be attempted in the " Pictorial Shakspere" to supply. But in addition to the literary illustrations of Shakspere that may be supplied by judicious research and careful selection, there is a vast storehouse of materials yet unemployed, that may, with sin gular propriety, be used for adding both to the information and the enjoyment of the readers of our great poet—we mean Pictorial illustrations. We have embellished editions of Shakspere, out of number, that attempt to represent the incidents of his scenes, and translate his characters into portraits for the eye—with greater or less success ; but we have no edition in which the aid of art has been called in to give a distinctness to the conceptions of the reader by representing the . _ REALITIES upon which the imagination of the poet must have rested. Of these Pictorial Illustrations, many, of course, ought to be purely antiquarian ; but the larger number of subjects offer a combination of the beautiful with the real, which must heighten the pleasure of the reader far more than any fanciful representation, however skilful, of the incidents of the several dramas. IN THE DESIGNS AND ENGRAVING OF THE WOOD- CUTS the most eminent artists will be employed. THE NOTES will embrace every subject that appears necessary to be investigated for the complete information of t the reader. The almost endless variety of objects presented in the text will call for the best assist ance that the Editor can procure from gentlemen conversant AT ith particular departments. THE VARIOUS READINGS OF THE GLOSSARIAL NOTES will be presented at the foot of each page ; whilst the fuller anno tations will be appended to each act. AN INTRODUCTORY NOTICE will be prefixed to each Play, which will point out—l. The His torical Facts—the real or imaginary incidents—and the complete Stories or detached passages in works of imagination—from either of which the plot of the Drama, or any portion of it, is supposed to be derived ;-2. The evidence which exists to establish the date when the Play was written. 3. THE PERIOD AND THE LOCALITY OF THE DRAMA, with an account of the materials from which the local illustrations have been derived ;- 4. THE COSTUME OF THE DRAMA, in which Notice will be introduced Wood-cuts, copied from ancient MSS. or Books, that may exhibit the authentic Costume of the place and of the eriod which the Poet had in his mind;— 5. THE MUSIC OF THE DRAMA, in which the original airs of Shakspere's exquisite songs will, a s far as possible, be given—with an account of the later Musical Compositions that have been adapted to the Poet's words. At the end of each Play A SUPPLEMENTARY NOTICE will contain an examination of the various Critical Opinions upon each Play ; and, in this portion of the work, it will be the duty of the Editor, while he avoids any obtrusive exhibition of his own opinions, to analyze and present in one view whatever is valuable in the multifarious criticism upon Shakspere—and especially to ex hibit those views (no edition of Shakspere having yet presented such to us) which do justice not only to the :surpassing beauty of detached passages of our great Dramatist, but which point out the consummate judgment which he displays in the conduct of his Story—his wonderful Method—his exquisite Art—the imperishable freshness of his Scenes—the unerring truth of his Characters. In this edition the Comedies and Tragedies will be published, nearly as can be ascertained, in the order in which they were writ ten, but in separate classes ; and the Histories according to the order of events. Whilst this arrangement is preserved with refer.. ence to the completton of the work in volumes, a necessary variety will be offered in the periodical publication of Plays tak en from each of the three classes, as for example : Part I.—Two Gentlemen of Verona ComEnr. 2.—King John 3.—Romeo and Juliet TRAGEDY. The Plays will occupy Thirty-seven Parts. The entire work, including SHAKSPERE'S SONNETS AND OTHER POEMS, AND A LIFE OF SHAKSPERE, with local Illustrations, as well as other introductory matter, will extend to Forty-four Parts. The ultimate arrangement will be as follows: Comedies Histories Tragedies Index Poems, Life, &c.... 131 2 1f 44 6 London: Charles Knight and Co., Ludgate -street. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN WATER -PROOFING GENTLEMEN'S CLOTHING, which, while it renders it completely im pervious to wet, is totally free from all the objections attendant upon the present system. The process is applicable to any description of material or gar ment, and neither alters its appearance, impedes free perspiration, produces rheumatism, or unpleasant smell. In fact, such is its superiority, that when generally known it will doubtless entirely supersede the unsightly and unhealthy articles at present in use.

SHOOTING, AND FISHING, as auxiliaries, to an extent that few can parallel. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL ACRES; the cultivated land is underlet at 500/. a-year, independently of the woods, which are in high condition. Th e mans i on i s su i ta bl y fur nished; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes in decorative furniture, having been called in to complete it; and the appendages, in Pictures and articles in taste and vertu, give to it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The offices are fully equal to the most sanguine expectation. The moors do not merely find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but ample scope for those who would recreate in shooting black and red grouse, woodcocks, and all sorts of game. LOCH LOMOND, TIIE "NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED LAKES, within a short mile of the Castle and demesne, will delight the amateurs in wild fowl shooting; and those inclined to salmon and trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content in the River Leven. Such is an imperfect outline of a few of the prominent attributes to which this famed property puts in an irresistable claim. The difficult task, however, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable language THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID SCENERY IN THE DISTANCE; EMBRACING LOCH LOMOND AND LOFTY BEN LOMOND. The greatest features amid Scotland's never-ending splendour and variety, is an undertaking to which the humble individual intrusted with the conduct if this sale feels most acutely how inadequate he is to the duty that has been imposed on him ; his chief relief, nay, " his main stay" (if he may be permitted the observation), arises out of a reminiscence that even one of our highly gifted poets, Sir Walter Scott, found himself in the same di lemma. All those who have not partaken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the beauteous scenery before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lomond sleeping in the arms of her hundred hills by THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON, he would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search for what the greatest novellist of by-gone times has said of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES. The magic touch of his never-erring muse must awaken a sensation first to see and then to possess • THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THIS VICINITY, " So wondrous wild, the whole might seem, The scenery of a, fairy dream." Next i n our ki n d remembrancei IS BEN LOMOND, which will necessarily partake of its due weed of praise, although twelve miles a-part. This mountain, LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS, o'ertops all its contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild fertility, relieved by pastures and corn land, and varied by ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE, completes a scene which can only be appreciated by oc u l ar demon stration. To conclude, it is desirable to make known that this in valuable property is offered for sale at a price to give ample return of interest upon the capital, and one half of the purchase-money may remain on security of the Estates, at four per cent. There are three beautiful Views of the Castle and Lake to be seen at Mr. Robins's Offices. Covent-garden, October. SALES BY AUCTION. NEAR KENSINGTON GARDENS. THE CRAVEN VILLA, with its ELEGANT .

F. A. Freeman, Esq., Esq., delightfully situate, is part of the valuable domain, approached from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of unassuming pretension, is full of comfort, presenting a neat eleva tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman ' s resi dence, replete with all requisite domestic offices ; and complete farm buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied scenery over the soft undulating and far spreading woods of Ros sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange, secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet. On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300 acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the present management, that well-merited reputation which its sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantations, pro verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of general praise, containnearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable annual income, including the Hunster, Holms' Carr, and Parks' Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved grou nds of J.

It would b o va i n to attempt to descr ib e a ll the advantages which this beautiful domain possesses. It must be seen to be fully appr a e u c d iated and it may in truth be said to be one of the modst compact substantial landed de sirable estates in the county, and a presentation to capital an investment. The advowson, or perpetual right of the Rectory of Rossington, of the annual value of upwards of 700_/., is in the gift of the Corporation, and will be sold subsequently. under the direction of her Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners Descriptive particulars and plans are preparing, and may shortly be had at the news-rooms of York, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield,.

This splendid Hotel is of the first class, and it is not too much to add, that it is not surpassed by any rival Establishment throughout England. The situation has been wisely selected. It is on an eminence, and the Hotel and Terrace-walk command extensive and very beautiful views of the adjacent lovely country, adorned by Woodland S cenery of surpassing beauty. It is within A PARK OF TWENTY ACRES, a short distance from the Church, and near the centre of Ton bridge Wells. The Pleasure Grounds are laid out with infinite taste. It may be well to observe that Calverley House, previously to its being reconstructed and formed into the present Alagnificent Hotel, was for several seasons selected by " HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN" and the Duchess of Kent, as their much admired abode. The si tuation, therefore, is no longer equivocal. The next (and a very important point it is) is to demonstrate its great value for its in- ' tended purpose—fortunately but little is necessary to be said ; the numberless persons from the great metropolis who seek health or recreation, cannot any where, at so easy a distance, meet with a more salubrious air, or more lovely scenery than at Tonbridge Wells, and when the Calverley Hotel, midway between London, Hastings, St. Leonard's, Eastbourne, &c., and only 30 miles from Brighton, shall present its splendid and economical welcome to visitors, the more reasonable apprehension seems to be, that its ample accommodation Will still be insufficient. It is not intended to carry into detail its manifold qualifications, but confine this an nouncement to a few only of the most prominent points. There are altogether 50 Bed Chambers, more than 20 Tavern or Sitting- Rooms, an elegant att,sßacious Coffee-room ; with ample Coach houses and Stabling. The Building preients a most imposing front. The architecture is in the best taste of Mr. Decimus Burton, and the arrangement throughout so perfect as to leave nothing more to be desired. To conclude, it may be suggested that if civi lity and moderate charges be appended as the motto to adorn the entrance-hall, it is quite manifest that a certain and very speedy fortune will reward the labours of any enterprizing individual. The following will demonstrate the fact that the rent is very inadequate to its annual value, viz.:- Ist year 2001. a year. 2d do. 3d do. 4th do. at which latter rent a Lease for any period will be granted to an approved tenant, who cannot fail to secure a very considerable annual income. Principals will apply to Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden ; and Messrs. Bartrum and Son, Solicitors, 72, Old Broad-street, who will explain in a personal interview the incalculable advan tages this Hotel has in the prospective. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

A duel took place a few days since at Gisors, be tween a soldier and a young man of that town, who was on the point of marriage, and whose banns with his future bride had been already published. The young man was kill e d b y h i s a d v ersary, who immediately afterwards blew out his own brains. The meeting was occasi oned b y the preference given to the former by the intended bride, who had also been courted by the soldier. At Gatmonsay Moor, on Saturday, two navigators, named Dalahide and Hasson, quarrelled about a woman who had been cohabiting with them whilst employed upon the rail road in the neighbourhood. The quarrel was apparently made up, and they left the public-house at Cuxhoe tcgether. Hasson wenetowards his home, and was followed by Dalahide, who stabbed him in the abdomen, so that his bowels protruded. In this dreadful condition the wounded man contrived to reach a house in the neighbourhood, where he subsequently died, but not before he had identified the assassin, who was taken up for the crime, and was, on the finding of the Coro ner's Jury, on Monday, fully committed to Durham gaol on a charge of wilful murder.—Sunderland Beacon. 'the first product of the Cheltenham Forest of Dean Mining Company's mines was brought into that town last week. The quantity was eighty tons, and the waggons con taining the black diamonds were preceded by a procession of the Directors, with music, flags, &c. The coals found an instant market.—Cheltenham Chronicle. On Friday night last Mr. Joseph Greene, who a few years ago carried on an extensive business as a gold beater, in Compton-street, Soho, entered the Albion Coffee house, Wilsted-street, Somers Town, and called for a cup of coffee. Having partaken of a portion thereof, he suddenly dashed from hint the saucer, at the same instant exclaiming " Oh, God 1 I've poisoned myself." Mt. Pretty, a surgeon, who was called in, directed his immediate removal to the Uni versity Hospital, whither be was conveyed in a coach, and, after the lapse of a short p er i o d, a cons id era bl e quan tity of corrosive sublimate was, by mea ns o f th e p um p, e xtracted from his stomach. It appears that h e was i m p e ll e d by adverse cir cumstances of a peculiarly dist ress i ng nature 10 make tho suicidal attempt. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Guildhall, Westminster, according to annual custom, and for the purpose of giving the Middlesex Magistrates a concurrent jurisdiction in that city. There was a very numerous attendance of the Magistrates, it being the day appointed for receiving the returns from the parochial officers of the rentals and assessments of the diffe rent parishes in the county, and which are delivered on oath. The overseers of nearly every parish in the county an swered to their names when called over, and delivered In an account of the rental of their respective districts. In the parish of Kensington the addition in the value of rateable property, according to the new assessment, amounted to 23,0001. The return for the parish of Hendon was 21,759/., which was less by 2,3001. than that of last year, a circumstance for which the overseer said he was unable to account. He, and several other overseers, who were not able to give certain ex planations required by the Magistrates, were ordered to attend the Court again to -morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Joseph Price, aged 39, a journeyman watch maker, was brought to this office charged with being drunk and disorderly, and with a series of brutal treatment towards his wife. Mr. WITHAM asked the prisoner what he had to say for such brutal and cowardly conduct. The prisoner, who is a person of dissipated appearance, affected to cry but said nothing. Mr. WITHAM..--I shall order you to find two sureties in 40/. each to keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, but especially towards your wife, for the next six months, and you must give forty-eight hours' notice of your bail. The prisoner was then locked up. THE NEW HACKNEY-CARRIAGE ACT, &c.—The attention of Mr. Witham was occupied for a considerable time yester day in the perusal of the New Hackney-Carriage Act. A cabriolet-driver applied for a summons against a pro prietor of cabriolets for refusing to deliver up his license. It appeared from his statement that he engaged with the pro prietor to drive out his horse and cab in order to bring home as much as chance might throw in his way, but being unsuc cessful he was enabled to take his master only 4s. He depo sited his license with the proprietor, who discharged him, and refused to deliver up his license. Mr. Witham granted a summons against the proprietor, which was placed in the hands of an officer, but in the course of the day the proprietor made his appearance with a City officer, having been referred to this office by the Lord Mayor. The summons was instantly served upon him, when he said that he had been anticipated by the driver, against whom he wanted to proceed. He stated that he engaged with the driver, who, according to the statute, deposited his license with him (applicant)but he had employed what is termed a " Buck" to drive his cab, aad on Saturday night he (the " Buck") drove a captain, upon whom he prac tised an imposition, and he actually gave the captain into cus tody. He was locked up, and yesterday morning he was charged before the Lord Mayor and fined. The expenses of the " Buck" were paid, and he was out of sight in an instant ; and the infamous trick being discovered, the Lord Mayor directed an officer to accompany him to this office, to confirm his state ment. The driver had brought home his horse nearly killed, and another driver had brought home another in the same state, and the animals were then in the stable dying, and had been seen by the officer. The officer confirmed this statement. Proprietor—The most gross i:npositions have been prac tised since the Act came into operation. The drivers employ Bucks, who have also licenses. Mr:WITHAM said it was a pity that the Lord Mayor waa net aware that the " captain" had been prosecuted by a " Buck," as be might have convicted him in the penalty of five pounds. The law says that no conductor or driver shall employ another person to drive without the consent of the proprietor; and that any police constable may apprehend him, and bring him before a J ust i ce to be dealt with; and if the license o f . a driver was i mproperly detained by a proprietor, the Justice could order it to be returned. Proprietor __. My horses are cut to p i eces. Here is his license, but I kept i t i n consequence of his gross misconduct. He brought me home no money. Mr. WiTnAm—Proprietors ought to have security for their property, before they entrust it with such persons. Proprietor—That is what we were anxious to obtain. Mr. WITHA D.!, after perusing the Act attentively, said that he could not see how to punish the driver in this instance, unless to order him to find bail, and prosecute him at the sessions. Mr. MALLETT said that the 24th was a general clause, which inflicted penalties for misbehaviour, and if the master had suf fered any injury the Justice could award compensation. Mr. WITHAM said that complaint must be made within seven days after. He inquired what agreement he made with his drivers ? Proprietor—That they must bring home as much as they can and take care of the property. The pub lic, he said, would be imposed upon more than ever if some thing was not done to check such proceedings, and it was by mere chance that he discovered that the captain had been given into custody by the " Buck," who was employed by his driver without his consent. Mr. WITHAM advised him to attend on the day appointed to hear the driver's summons, and to produce his license, and that every means should be adopted to bring forward the " Buck," who had impose upon the Lord Mayor and the captain. The parties then left the office. QUEEN- SQUARE. Thomas Callaghare, a man whose desperate habits have frequently subjected him to police surveillance, was yesterday placed at the bar, charged with being found in the Swan Hotel, Bridge-street, Westminster, with intent to commit a felony. The prisoner was ordered to find good bail. UNION-HALL. Yesterday James Langford was brought before Mr. TRAIL!., charged with stealing cash and notes to the amount of between 2001. and 3001., the property of John Dyson, a cheesemonger at Portland New Town, and John Elvins was charged with being concerned in the robbery. The complainant being in want of a shopman, he was called upon a few days ago by Langford, who described that he bad been for some length of time in the trade, and referred, as to his character and qualifications, to a person named Butler, carrying on the business of a cheesemonger in Norway-street, Old-street. Application was subsequently made to this latter person, who gave Langford an unexceptionable character, and he was accordingly taken into the employment which he sought. On Wedncsday morning last the prisoner absented himself from the complainant's shop, and soon afterwards it was discovered that he had taken the cash box out of one of the drawers in the warehouse, which at the time contained money, checks, and bills to the amount of between 2001. and 300/. Inquiries were instantly set on foot to trace the delin quent, and in the course of Saturday night last both he and the other prisoner were taken into custody at the Goldsmiths' Arms, in the Southwark Bridge-road. The prisoners were remanded. On Monday a male child was found at the door of Mr. J. George, of St. Margaret's, near Marlborough.
